Emily in Paris' two nominations is truly absurd

PopSugar

"The Netflix show surprisingly managed to nab not one, but two nominations: one for best TV series in the musical or comedy category, and lead star Lily Collins secured a best actress nod in that same category for her portrayal of the clueless yet charming Emily Cooper," says Victoria Messina. "When I first read the announcement, I frankly rubbed my eyes and refreshed my browser several times to make sure it was real, and a quick glance at Twitter reassured me that I'm not the only one who's befuddled. Look, did I zip through the entire first season while barely leaving my couch right after it hit Netflix? Duh. Did I subsequently consider purchasing a red beret just because of Emily's wardrobe? Perhaps. Is Gabriel still at the top of my onscreen crushes list? Abso-freakin'-lutely. Will I cringe-watch the second season? Probably. But is Emily in Paris worthy of an accolade reserved for truly exceptional film and TV productions? To quote the French, non. ALSO: Lily Collins is "so proud" Emily in Paris was nominated.
